World T20, Group 2: India v New Zealand at Nagpur, Mar 15, 2016

Very interesting matchup.

NZ’s team is better but India has home crowd/ground advantage.

Also on spin wickets, NZ isnt that impressive.

Re: World T20, Group 2: India v New Zealand at Nagpur, Mar 15, 2016

The better NZ to bat.

Re: World T20, Group 2: India v New Zealand at Nagpur, Mar 15, 2016

NZ literally surrendered to the spin and could only reach 126. Should be a piece of cake for India

Re: World T20, Group 2: India v New Zealand at Nagpur, Mar 15, 2016

both openers are back into the dugout. it's not easy on this pitch to score against spin...India still poised to win. let's see! :)

Re: World T20, Group 2: India v New Zealand at Nagpur, Mar 15, 2016

The mighty indians are winning...only 87 runs needed...

Re: World T20, Group 2: India v New Zealand at Nagpur, Mar 15, 2016

Ind 42/6 the halfway...Dhoni ki dhul rahi hai... :D

Re: World T20, Group 2: India v New Zealand at Nagpur, Mar 15, 2016

43/7, serves them right for making such a disgusting pitch. They thought they'd roll NZ over with spin.

Re: World T20, Group 2: India v New Zealand at Nagpur, Mar 15, 2016

7 down for 43 in 10.1 overs…terrific NZ bowling & fielding… :k: :smiley:

Re: World T20, Group 2: India v New Zealand at Nagpur, Mar 15, 2016

India 49/7 after 12 overs

Iam sure post match conference, Dhoni is going to blame the grounds-men and everyone else related to ground for preparing a turning wicket..

Re: World T20, Group 2: India v New Zealand at Nagpur, Mar 15, 2016

The groundsmen were Pakistani agents.

Yup you read the Indian Headlines for the next day here!

Re: World T20, Group 2: India v New Zealand at Nagpur, Mar 15, 2016

it's good that India is losing today...this defeat will pump them up for the next game.

the pitch favoring spinners [Indian batsmen are a good spin players] backfired on Indians.

i wanna see them peak during semis and the final! :)

the RRR has gone up to almost 11...Dhoni probably can't do much.

Re: World T20, Group 2: India v New Zealand at Nagpur, Mar 15, 2016

Be precise, ISI agents :)

Re: World T20, Group 2: India v New Zealand at Nagpur, Mar 15, 2016

Very very spin wicket. Wat Wil happen with our batters

Re: World T20, Group 2: India v New Zealand at Nagpur, Mar 15, 2016

India bowled out for 79 runs in 18.1 overs as NZ win by 47 runs... :D

Re: World T20, Group 2: India v New Zealand at Nagpur, Mar 15, 2016

They might give a thought to not to unpack...

Re: World T20, Group 2: India v New Zealand at Nagpur, Mar 15, 2016

Angoor khattay hain. reminds me of 2009 T20 cup matches. Indian team was so arrogant they thought they had come to England not to play but to just to take the trophy. The Indian supporters were equally deluded and bought 95% of the tickets of the final at Lords cricket ground. India was kicked out in the first round and the team no one thought would progress beyond first round won the world cup - Pakistan. All the Indians were busy selling their final tickets to Pakistani fans.

​Lets hope history repeats itself. :)
